Eelco Dolstra f8e36664a6 * Subtle: since nix-env processes flags in order, any ‘-I’ flag should
come before ‘-f <nixos>’.

Usage: $0 [OPTIONS...] OPERATION
The operation is one of the following:
switch: make the configuration the boot default and activate now
boot: make the configuration the boot default
test: activate the configuration, but don't make it the boot default
build: build the configuration, but don't make it the default or
activate it
build-vm: build a virtual machine containing the configuration
(useful for testing)
build-vm-with-bootloader:
like build-vm, but include a boot loader in the VM
dry-run: just show what store paths would be built/downloaded
pull: just pull the NixOS channel manifest and exit
Options:
--install-grub (re-)install the Grub bootloader
--pull do a nix-pull to get the latest NixOS channel
manifest
--no-build-nix don't build the latest Nix from Nixpkgs before
building NixOS
--rollback restore the previous NixOS configuration (only
with switch, boot, test, build)
--fast same as --no-build-nix --show-trace
Various nix-build options are also accepted, in particular:
--show-trace show a detailed stack trace for evaluation errors
Environment variables affecting nixos-rebuild:
\$NIX_PATH Nix expression search path
\$NIXOS_CONFIG path to the NixOS system configuration specification
